terminal came default with this thing but whats the command to run the program from there and when you click on add and remove icon it opens up 3 options install, install via network, and uninstall, no options or anything can yous pecify please

.

ahhh  lol i just typed in gaim in terminal and it tried to start the program but it came back saying   "cannot load shared object file:  no such file or directory"  hmmm anyone know what thats about?  i obviously need a shared object file lol but where and how? lol

there was a filename that i wrote there b/c my computer froze  but anyway i found the file d-loaded it and now Gaim opens but there are no options or buttons to push they are gone like if it was missing something else.  so i uninstalled just gpe-gaim and reinstalled it and nothing changed.

ok now i decided to load from terminal again and i get a bunch of unable to get graphics content cant make qgfx for null mpixmap
or qpaintdevice: cannot destroy paint device that is being painted and  a bunch of other QGFX

mm well thats odd when i click on the icon it acts like its going to load and does nothing.    and i see the pc link comes on in the taskmanager

it may be b/c it tells you to do this

Installing Gaim for Qtopia is a pretty easy task, but it has a few steps initially. For a less verbose list of what's needed, see requirements below.

Step 1.

Before you start, add the following feed to your package manager:

http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/feed/release

and i have no clue as to what they are talking about  package manager?


now thats wierd im online and when i even try a different chat program it also wants to connect to pc link any idea why they are doing that.  even though i'm online could it still be trying to connect through the usb somehow?

it is trying to open  " 2125 qtsamba"   whats that the progam is


.
.
.
updated i was messing with the pclink stuff and changed it to advanced and left the settings now  its up and running but dont see anyone i'll mess with it some more.  maybe this is helpfull to someone else
.
.
.
hmm ok yea had to keep messing with the settings on pc link for it to go online and i have all my buddy icons for this other program.

but as far as Gaim goes it still doesnt open up it just acts like its opening up. i get no responce from it,
so i could use some suggestions for Gaim if anyone has some

I need to know exactly how to update my 5600 like you  would any windows product except with linux i'm sure its not as easy as clicking on "linux updates" lol

i'm new to the linux i know verry little but i have learned more the past few days since i have had it then ever befor lol    

Here is what my system info tells me i'm updated to

Embedix Plus PDA
Version 2.0

Opera browser 6.0

insignia jeode java pda edition

Qtopia for embedix plus pda    <--- what is this qtopia?
version 1.5.4
built on aug 1 2003


Linux Kernel
version 2.4.18 -rmk7 -pxa3 -embedix
compiled by sharp
rom version 1.32

i have a tab called jeode with 2 files in it 1 is primtest and the other is Quasar and i have no idea what they are or what they are for the rim test acts like a video tester but the Quasar does nothing just a blank screen.  any info on this?


so what do i do to update to current version?

ps What is a good FTP program thats not command prompt only i need it gui for now that i can use on this.   I suposably installed SSH but cant find the program i know its command but "learning"  so i'm trying to figure out where its located now.  thanks guys

Hmmm so while my 5600 is in the docking station and hooked up to the computer via usb of course,  It can access the net through that?  if so can you tell me where you found the info or if its simple tell me how you did it.  b/c i was curious if it can be done.

Hey guys i'm new to the whole PDA thing ,   I would like to use aim messenger for my 5600 but i dont have the slightest clue as to what version to use like on this site they want you to pay for it http://anywhere.aol.com/pda/  so does anyone know of a im to use maybe msn, icq, yahoo, aim,  with this software out there i never know what will work since like 99 % of them dont state linux,  is there another name i should be looking for when it states what OS the software works with?  all i ever see the most of is windows.

Hi guys hows it going

I am a wireless internet installer in springfield missouri and i am looking for a regular north and west reading cf gps unit,  i dont need the maps or anything like that b/c the laptop has mapquest or something like that on there i dont remember my boss uses it the most,  but he sends me out on these gps reading quests and i hate taking his bolky gps reader out with me, besides i'd rather have my own,  i generally dont want to spend more then 60 bucks on it so if someone gets better luck then i had looking for one thanks.  I have a SL 5600,  oh and a side item i'm looking for is a good case preferably a flip but if someone else suggests something different let me know  thanks guys
